## Description

Leidos is actively hiring for multiple Data Scientist to support our team in Alexandria, VA.

The Data Scientist shall support the maintenance and implementation of the data architecture for all Program data. This position requires experience with databases, cloud architecture, and compliance with data standards. This position is responsible for maintaining data backend workflows that allow for the movement of data across security domains and across systems.

Primary Responsibilities

· Assist in the creation of the necessary data pipelines to store and process data related to emergent sensors and platforms. This includes creation of any database tables and schemas, establishing relevant data health alerts, and the setup of data pipelines to support Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) of all data related to the emergent sensors.

· Develop workflows to enable API-based movement of data related to the sensors between data platforms as directed by the government.

· Ensure all sensor data adheres to Government directed data schemas, formats, and governance requirements

· Assess potential differences in metadata, data format, and data structure characteristics in regards to changes to databases, schemas, APIs, and other ETL related processes for the ingestion and movement of data when integrating into the existing data operations pipeline

· Determine how to pre-process and standardize the data to match existing data standards or to be transformed into a usable state for labeling and model testing purposes. This may involve converting between file format types or tiling full-size images into specified sizes or geospatial bounds (chipping), orthorectification, or other types of data standardization, transformation, or manipulation.
